Of all the decor trends we look forward to most in the coming year, color holds a steady spot at the top of our list. After all, it sets the tone for what furniture we buy, what decor we invest in, and the overall mood and feng shui for that design year in our home.

Sherwin-Williams predicts that 2018 will embody the spirit of contemporary life with their three color palettes: Affinity, Connectivity, and Sincerity. Each one is inspired by the collective culture of the moment — from fashion to technology — and captures the aura of a year that is bound to be full of progress and abundance.

Affinity

This color story of striking blue, animated fuchsia, and stabilizing brown, the Affinity palette is set to celebrate the connection of people and places. A color that celebrates travel and culture.

Affinity is just like any good getaway: relaxed but full of unexpected fun. Decorate accordingly with a base of neutral browns and vibrant accent colors in an array of pinks and blues.

Connectivity

The Connectivity palette draws from innovations in tech, including pixelated oranges, digital blues and greens, and high-def yellow. It brightens any Seattle Home and neutralizes the grey skies.

Alternate with some tech-inspired hues while working in some much-needed warmth with understated grays and creams.

Sincerity

Simplicity and Minimalism isn’t going anywhere in 2018. However, it is taking on a less structured look.

Step away from the stark light and dark contrasts and embrace color fluidity. This palette is all about ditching harsh lines for sandy browns, muted grays, and hazy greens that harmonize perfectly. Don’t stress too much about sticking to a strict color scheme, but instead let one organic shade blend into the next.
